Form feed when printing the spool object

Postby ericcam » Thu Jan 16, 2014 3:20 am

Hi.

Is it possible to force a form feed when printing a Spool object. I mean fro example print a group of series on Page 1, insert a form feed somewhere in the spool object then print another group of series Page 2?

Thanks, Eric.

Not sure what you are asking here. You can set the print mode to 'Continuous' which will print as many objects possible on each individual page.

If that is not what you want, you will need to clarify.

Sure. I am going to try to be more specific.
I don't want to print as many objects as possible on each individual page.
I want to say to the printer print this object in the next page and not in the current page.
For example:
Groupr Gr1 Series1 series2 series3
Groupr Gr2 Series4 series5 series6
Spool Sp
Sp.append Gr1
' Insert here a form feed in the Spool
Sp.append Gr2
' Then print Sp

Thanks, Eric.

There isnt a command you can use in your program, but you can set the spool print mode to start a new page for every object in the spool.

If you go to file->print options, in the 'spool defaults' box set the 'Print mode:' to 'Individual'.
